Tuskegee University Closes Campus To Outsiders After Deadly HBCU Homecoming Shooting, Fires Security Chief

Anyone entering campus must wear a school-issued identification badge and have authorized permission.

Here’s what is required to be on campus right now

“Tuskegee University is no longer an open campus,” Brown said. “Effective immediately, we require IDs for everyone to be displayed to enter campus and worn at all times while on campus.”

The HBCU also fired its campus security chief before conducting a full review of security measures.

“Our new campus security chief and ultimately his team will complete a full review, including all implementations of new security procedures,” Brown added.

The shooting occurred despite several security measures taken by the university, according to Brown. These included hiring 70 additional law enforcement officers to be on-site, notifying attendees that weapons and drugs are prohibited on campus and visitors only being able to wear clear bags.

“We did entry checks at all officially sponsored events, some random and some 100% checks,” he said. “However, the general campus remained open and we did not, nor could we, have planned for security at an event that was not approved in advance or officially sanctioned by the university.”
